Choose a small glass jar if you want to serve a little Gestampte Muisjes at the table, or a larger jar with a secure seal if you want to keep an opened pack dry. Gestampte Muisjes aren’t a suitable topping for a truly savoury breakfast: Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe them as sugar-coated aniseed and a sweet spread. Before buying, check the current packaging for ingredients, allergens and storage advice.
If you want to serve Gestampte Muisjes with bread, rusks or yoghurt, a small serving jar is a sensible choice. Albert Heijn and Jumbo suggest these uses for the sweet product; serving it in a jar doesn’t make it savoury.
Look for a suitable size and a secure-fitting lid if the jar will mainly be kept in the cupboard. According to Jumbo’s product information, Gestampte Muisjes should be stored in a dry place.
If savoury is a must, choose a different topping or spread first. Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe Gestampte Muisjes as sugar-coated aniseed; choosing a glass jar won’t change the product.
First decide whether you want to serve or store Gestampte Muisjes. If you’re after a savoury breakfast, choosing a different topping comes before choosing a jar.
| What to consider | What to check before buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Dry storage | Check the seal and usable capacity. Gestampte Muisjes should be stored in a dry place. | If I want to decant an opened pack, the jar needs to suit the amount I want to store. Around 40% of consumers prioritise dry storage as their main requirement. |
| Small portions for the table | Check the capacity in cl or ml and whether the opening is convenient for serving. A small jar doesn’t need to hold the whole pack. | I only want to put a little sweet topping on the table and store the rest separately. For around 30% of consumers, serving a small portion is the priority. |
| Savoury product type | Read the product description and ingredients before choosing a jar for this topping. | If my breakfast needs to be truly savoury, a different spread is more useful than different packaging. A genuinely savoury product is the top priority for around 30% of consumers. |
A glass jar won’t turn Gestampte Muisjes into a savoury topping. Albert Heijn and Jumbo describe the product as sugar-coated aniseed.
Is savoury a must? Choose a suitable spread or topping first, then decide what size jar you need.
Bormioli Rocco describes a 12.5 cl Fido jar as suitable for serving; IKEA lists KORKEN jars at 13 cl. These capacities in cl don’t tell you how much of a 270 g pack of Gestampte Muisjes will fit.
Use a small jar for a portion at the table and keep the rest in a dry place. Check the usable capacity if you want to decant the whole pack.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo’s product listings mention wheat and cereals containing gluten. A different storage jar won’t change the ingredients.
Before buying and using the product, check the current packaging for ingredients, allergens and storage advice.
Leifheit describes preserving jars with a rubber ring for an airtight seal. The product information for Gestampte Muisjes advises storing them in a dry place, not preserving them.
Check that the seal on your chosen jar is suitable for storing dry goods. Don’t choose a preserving jar solely because it can be used for preserving food.

You can’t tell from the pack weight and jar capacity alone. The pack reviewed contains 270 g, while a jar’s capacity in cl or ml tells you its volume. Choose a small jar for a portion at the table and check how much space you need before decanting a whole pack.
Follow the current label and store the product in a dry place, as Jumbo advises for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. If you decant it, use a clean, dry jar with a suitable seal, and check the packaging for any further storage instructions.
